 ### Merge Queues
 
-To land a pull request, add the [`safe-merge-queue`](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/labels?q=safe-merge-queue), [`merge-queue`](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/labels?q=merge-queue), or [`unsafe-merge-queue`](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/labels?q=unsafe-merge-queue) label to your pull request. These labels will put your pull request into [Safe-Merge-Queue](https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/Safe-Merge-Queue), [Merge-Queue](https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/Merge-Queue), and [Unsafe-Merge-Queue](https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/Unsafe-Merge-Queue), respectively, which will commit your pull request to the WebKit repository.
+If you have [committer](https://webkit.org/team/#committers) rights, you can land a pull request by adding the [`safe-merge-queue`](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/labels?q=safe-merge-queue), [`merge-queue`](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/labels?q=merge-queue), or [`unsafe-merge-queue`](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/labels?q=unsafe-merge-queue) label to your pull request. These labels will put your pull request into [Safe-Merge-Queue](https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/Safe-Merge-Queue), [Merge-Queue](https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/Merge-Queue), and [Unsafe-Merge-Queue](https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/Unsafe-Merge-Queue), respectively, which will commit your pull request to the WebKit repository. If you are not a committer, you can use [`request-merge-queue`](https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/labels?q=request-merge-queue) so whoever reviews the patch can add it to the queue.
 
 Each queue runs a style-check and inserts reviewer information into the commit message and modified change logs. They check that a pull request has been reviewed by checking the commit message before landing the change.
